it's mitt romney's campaign. >> can mitt romney separate himself from paul ryan's budget? >> i want to say overall, though, overall, this is the first time that i've been excited by something that the national republican party has done in well over a decade. looking at paul ryan, paul ryan comes from a small group of budget either jedis or dorks, geeks, whatever, but he comes -- there couldn't be a tighter fit ideologically through the years with what a small group of us started trying to do in 1994, whether you're talking about steve largent or john shadegg, or tom coburn or mark sanford or pat toomey who came a few years later. guys that yes, were conservative socially, but we talked about the budget, we came to washington because of the budget, we are driven by the fears of the budget deficit. so paul ryan, there could not be a better pick for me. i will asay, this is the first time the republican party has done something in over a decade that i go, wow, you know what, that may be my party. that may be the party that i joined when ronald reagan inspired me in 1979/1980.
